Recent Advances in Nickel-Catalyzed C-C Cross-Coupling

Transition metal-catalyzed carbon–carbon bonds formation is a fundamental process and has attracted much attention in the synthetic chemistry community over the past decades. This chapter summarizes the recent advances (from 2012 until 2022) in nickel-catalyzed C-C coupling reactions, covering the formation of C(sp2)-C(sp2) bond, C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond, and C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond, as well as the corresponding innovative strategies and mechanisms are discussed in detail, with an emphasis on nickel’s unique properties.
